I figured it would be a long evening of watching election returns, so I planned a dinner option. Salad (my wife assembled that, as she usually does), pizza (fine, it's DiGiorno, not delivery), and wings.
The wings were the interesting part. Pound+ of "party wings" prepared in slow cooker. Drizzled some barbeque sauce on bottom of pan and splashed in some cheap Christian Brothers cream sherry (since I'd run out of the good stuff from Chateau Julian; but the result from the $4.99 bottle was as good as the $32 stuff). Rubbed the wings with some Tajin lime-infused Mexican seasoning and plopped them into the pan (deep stainless steel sitting on a slow-cooker base); drizzled on more BBQ sauce (Rufus Teague) and more cream sherry, added a sprinkle of salt and a sprinkling of dried chopped onion.
Got up to a boil at medium setting on slow cooker, and then turned down, and down further and further later. Six or seven hours in the cooker, making the house smell good. (The sugar in the BBQ sauce is prone to burning, so it is essential to keep an eye on the temp.)
Result was very, very good, tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. I need to print out the recipe for future use.
And wine. Needed a couple of glasses of that to handle the election results.
